What is a plant-based diet?

According to Forks Over Knives, a plant-based diet is built on a foundation of “fruits, vegetables, tubers, whole grains, and legumes; and it excludes or minimizes meat (including chicken and fish), dairy products, and eggs, as well as highly refined foods like bleached flour, refined sugar, and oil.”

The benefits of a plant-based diet are unlimited! Eating a diet rich in plants is one amazing way to prevent many chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Studies have also shown that people who eat a diet that consists primarily of plants typically weigh less than their meat eating counterparts.

Not only do the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle show through our health, but a plant-based lifestyle is also the most environmentally sustainable choice.
